2. Hard work brings rewards of a job well done.

4. Driving back from New York yesterday we stopped along the way to enjoy the scenery, and some wine.

7. Since they are only playing pre-season games, can we really say that football season is here? Yet?

Ronald Reagan Quote of the Week

"We're strong because we still believe in a bedrock principle: We are a government of, by, and for the people, not the other way around. And we're strong because we know that true greatness begins with the deepest treasures of the human spirit, with faith and courage, with loyalty and love, with a quiet, unselfish devotion to our families, our neighbors, and our nation."
